This one works absolutely fine for deleting every cookie, even if it is httponly

chrome.cookies.getAll({'domain':'accounts.google.com'},function(cookie){ 

    for(i=0;i<cookie.length;i++){

    var prefix = "https://";

    var url =  prefix + cookie[i].domain + cookie[i].path;

    chrome.cookies.remove({'url':url , 'name':cookie[i].name},function(cookie){ });             
    }       
 });

Chrome extensions can use chrome.cookies API, that has access to all cookies in the cookie store, including httpOnly.

The documentation for the API is here.

Note that this API requires declaring a permission and will not work from content scripts.

The point of HTTPOnly cookies is not let javascript to access them. So basically you can not read them. If you want to delete them you can do it from the options that offers browser
